For snacks, the raw bar and the grilled cheese are boom-bangin. For delicious libations: Old Cuban, Metamorphosis, Blueberry Thrill, Jack Rose, Au Provence, oh hell-- ALL OF THEM
One of Boston's best cocktail spots. Try their famed 'whiskey smash' which is incredible!
Angie Massie KhotpalMay 19, 2018Wine list is decent- appetizers better than the entrees. Crowded after a game at Fenway.
- Whisky Smash! That is all you need to know, other than that the rest of the cocktails are amazing too.
- Abdul HakkimDecember 31, 2013Come for the super-fresh seafood and expertly crafted cocktails. Stay for the refreshingly unpretentious service and neighborhood vibe. - © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc
Sofia PapastamelosFebruary 18, 2019Excellent American/New England cuisine and delicious cocktails. Can’t really go wrong.
There exists a delicious off-menu concoction called the "Wildwood Road" involving rye, amaro, & bitters; it is the perfect drink to smooth out a long day of work into a pleasant evening.
Menu rotate a lot but if you are lucky , try salt cod fritter. It served in the wooden box, nice presentation. Lobster Bisque is out of this world. Bread basket for brunch is too die for!!
Gabriella Meiterman-RodriguezNovember 10, 2012Bloody Mary is worth ordering. Couldn't help but order two with breakfast!! The yogurt and granola is also a one of a kind
Boston's most iconic bar. Amazingly gracious and informed staff, great cocktails, and your best option for food after midnight.
For brunch: amazing croque madame with a side of home fries. Like a breakfast sandwich on crack ❤
Can LokOctober 8, 2010You may wanna try something fancy since ur in a nice restaurant but if u wanna play it safe like I do order the standard burger. This is the best burger I ever had.
GourmetLiveOctober 18, 2010The opulent raw bar adds great ambiance to Kenmore Square’s elegant brasserie. Local oysters and clams are perfectly fresh; the Alaskan king crab legs are succulently rich.
The Sherry Cobbler comes adorned with rosemary and kumquats!
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010The American brasserie offers classic European dishes and fun, retro cocktails. Just don't try to get a table on the night of a Sox game - the neighborhood is utter mayhem.
Michelle C.July 24, 2012Boston Magazine best of 2012 list as "Best Brasserie", try the grilled cheese and late night snack, rock shrimp beignets.
Metro BearJanuary 14, 2012The bartenders are the best! Sit at the bar and ask the bartender for a drink recommendation, you will not be sorry!
Open Air PublishingApril 16, 2012Celebrate filing your taxes with the Income Tax Cocktail. Then learn how to make it at home. Find the recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads.
The Ad ClubJanuary 29, 2011Some of the best bartenders in Boston. Great Old Cubans and definitely try the 19th Century. Venue has a great prohibition style and atmosphere.
Smashing DrinksApril 25, 2012For goodness sakes, grab a whiskey smash! It's delicious! This bar is one of the best places to grab a cocktail in Boston so... Enjoy!- If you're looking for late-night food in Boston, you can't do much better than the daily specials posted on the mirror behind the bar after midnight. Follow the restaurant on Twitter to see the specia
Sean BenderJuly 3, 2010The Metamorphosis Cocktail! Part Becherovka, lemon juice and honey it lives up to its description as transformative bitters. It's no longer listed on the menu, but gladly served if ordered by name.- It's no one's first thought in this wonderland of liquid delights, but the espresso is always perfect. Start with one to fortify your later fun. Drink!
- They have a heated patio for those chilly fall evenings. Enjoy!
GrandTen DistillingJune 8, 2012Feel free to try your cocktails with our very own, Boston-distilled gin, Wire Works. They carry it there and we guarantee that you'll love it!
Anna TyzikAugust 7, 2014What's NOT good here? Cocktails are insane, oysters are perfection, and service is friendly.

Alegría LeeMeDecember 20, 2014Great cocktails. Try the Bourbon and spice. :-) Also desserts are grear
BU Class GiftApril 17, 2012One of our communications chairs hangs out here...a lot. If you ever have any questions or want to just stop by and say hi, you should!
Ossy AlawwamOctober 13, 2014Alas, i went during off-hours with a short snacks menu. Had tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwich. Soup was good, grilled cheese was tasteless. Service was attentive though- Feeling decadent? The flight of dessert wines is a fantastic finish to a great meal
Bordeaux WinesApril 19, 2012You won't be able to find better bone marrow or foie gras in Boston. Dishes like that deserve to be accompanied by a Bordeaux.
Danielle TerenzioSeptember 1, 2013Great cocktails! Make sure to check out the photo gallery upstairs.
Ksu NekrasovaJanuary 30, 2013Good oysters! And don't miss out on an amazing butterscotch bread pudding!
James LaurentiSeptember 21, 2012If you order a dirty martini here instead of one of the dozens of phenomenal cocktails on the menu... you're a tool.
Mac and cheese is to die for. Haven't had a bad cocktail yet, but the Whiskey Smash is phenomenal!
Open Air PublishingApril 24, 2012Try the Income Tax Cocktail. Then learn how to make it at home. Find the recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads.
Clayton McLaughlinSeptember 25, 2014If you like scotch ask for the RG4, not on the menu and you'll only need one.
